:donoJust wondering. If this gets deleted, I'll understand it was too personal,
or too far "OFF TOPIC". Since most states allow CCW, do you feel it appropriate
to carry while fishing? I do, but do all the time anyway, for the past 8 years.
Kind of like my debit card, I "don't leave home without it". Haven't seen this
tossed about anywhere, but since I'm still reading, maybe I just haven't got
there yet.
Fortunately, I never felt to need to where I fish.
alwayes carry especialey on the river .on the lake you never know what will come up and i do have a permit . like a spare tire for your car . never know when you might need one .80 year old lady lived 3 blocks from me had a gun and never had to use it in her life but one night a young boy was coming through he back door and she shot hem in the arm . probabley saved her life or being hert bad .

Always carry anywhere it's legal, and avoid the States that don't recognize an Indiana Permit. I'll spend my money elsewhere (in those States which do). No one should ever consider exercising a Constitutional Right controversial.
RRR ... it's been discussed before, but it's been a while.
I don't have a CCW, but CAN carry one strapped on ... as long as it's visible ... as that's the law in KY. I have done it, one of my fishing partners does, and I'd start doing it again ... if I felt the need.
... cp :cool:
I never carry one, im sure they would be holding up a store. They wont get much if they hold me up. I carry a pockey knofe but no gun
I started carrying full time about 6 months ago. Carry a .380 in back pocket holster.
I carry except when going to work.....We have a huge meth problem around here and some parts of our lake are somewhat secluded....Plus if I forget mine , my girlfriend is sure to have her Pink 380 with her....I hope I never have to display the gun and aint gonna argue with some fool about a fishing hole anyway , just aint worth it....
:fishInteresting. I carry a 9 shot .22 snubbie loaded with rat shot for snakes on my creek. Water snakes
don't bother me, but the cotton mouth does. Got a few rattlers in my area and when in my kayak, I want
to keep the snakes away. If the paddle don't discourage 'em, I'll dispatch 'em. Never been bitten, but hurt
myself trying to get out of their way. lol.
My creek is secluded and rumor has it a meth lab was busted way up the creek. Never know when the
creek might be used to move stuff in and out of the area. Creek is deep enough for bass boats and
pontoon boats, so I carry other than the .22 also. Now days, caution is key. The good old days are gone.
Another one of 'em "stay ready so you don't have to get ready" situations. Thanks for sharin'. Confusion
leads to understanding, if your into understanding.
Personaly I cary a taurus 40. cal. auto. A gun is like a knife, it is not for showing. a guy was showing off his pretty gun.and my brother ask to see it.the guy
handed the gun to my brother. my brother ask what good was the gun to him now.
I'm like Pappy, I don't have my CCW. But I can carry as long as it's visible. I fish with several people who always have one. I have recently thought about getting my CCW. This old world isn't geting any better. Keep most of mine in the safe. :cool:
never carried on the lake but plan on starting. just want it handy just in case. if i fished at night i think it would be a requirement
Just an FYI. I called the Corp of Engineers here in KY since most of the lakes are theirs and was told it was illegal to "carry" regardless of the Concealed Carry Permit unless (1) It was during a legal hunting season and (2) you were within a designated hunting area. You might want to consider doing some research yourself and you do not have to give your name when calling. Also keep these things in mind, it is called a "Concealed Carry Permit" for a reason, they are unlikely to search you unless you give them a reason, and for them to fine and punish you, you need to be alive. Just my thoughts.
Will be getting my CCW as soon as possible and carrying my Beretta PX4 .40 in the boat and car.
Oklahoma recently passed an "open carry" bill. Those who have a CCW can soon legally open carry their sidearm. One of the reasons this bill was introduced was to stop silly fines of those carrying concealed, yet at some point someone else saw the weapon and complained to authorities. These folks were being fined for not properly concealing their weapon. I personally like the element of suprise and would keep mine concealed. On a boat, I think I'd have to leave it open as long as it was legal to do so.
"rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6"...its been quoted many times, but its truth has never faded.
I dont carry very often, but when i feel the need, i do so, regardless permits and reciprocity laws.
Indiana is just a License to Carry, doesn't need to be concealed (though 99% of the time I do).Quote:

I got mine most the time. TN has a carry permit like Indiana. I gotta big cannon. Can't conseal it and it pulls you britches down. Been looking at a smaller 6 shooter.
i like that cp
Point is weapons are NOT for a display or warning; weapons are for KILLING when absolutely necessary. Pulling a weapon and THREATENING someone is a BAD idea...so many end up getting shot with their OWN weapon; more than a few after foolishly deciding to "wound" an offender as a "warning". If the situation IS SERIOUS ENOUGH to pull a gun, the 1st shot BETTER be FATAL to your opponent. And forgive the "overkill theory", but EMPTY it, preferably above the shoulders...

Amen, like my dad said if you pull it, you better use it!
I like carrying my gun. Makes me feel good.

Wish I could, live in Illinois though. Seems ironic, that four years in the army, and 11 months in Bosnia with 180 rounds on me was fine. Not to mention C-4 and mines. I even enlisted when 17yrs old, which is another story. I'm old enough to enlist but not vote or drink?!?Get back to illinois, and its not "legal"???? banghead Does this go with the saying, "mine is not to reason why, mine is to do or die"?
Ill is a commi state.....id move....
I live in the only state that doesn't allow concelled carry.
:biggrinWe have places in Texas for people just like you. Come on down. It will be
Illinois loss.
I think it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I understand the rules of the Corps, but I would rather have to argue with them on why I shot someone trying to do harm to me or my property than not have one and only hope they were interested in doing harm to my property only.Quote:

have I had to reveal it to a couple of guys that were fooling with my truck when I came back to where I had launched from. I am
convinced that it was enough of a deterrent to convince them to move on. I had it in the front pocket of my PFD, when I got of the kayak
and walked up to them, I took my PFD off and unsnapped the pocket and pulled out my "piece". One of them said, "interesting". They looked
at each other, nodded, got in their truck and drove off. I am like the other guy....never leave home with out it (or them)...always have the
Air Weight in my pocket and a GLOCK in my truck that is easily accessible. Better to be safe than sorry.
Exactly. I don't have a pistol, but over the years I've had a couple of instances where I should have had one onboard.Quote:

And now you know why Illinois is so currupt.Quote:
